Why the NEET Counselling 2026 Schedule Was Revised
According to the official notification, "It is hereby informed to all concerned candidates that due to some technical glitch in the server, the Board has decided to revise schedule for 1st Round of Online Counselling for admission under State, All India & NRI Quota Seats in M.B.B.S., B.D.S. & B.H.M.S. courses."
The Jharkhand NEET counselling 2026 process is being conducted for admission to MBBS and BDS courses. Qualified applicants must register by indicating their preferred college and course, after which the authority verifies each applicant's documents before seats are allotted.
Jharkhand Round 1 NEET Counselling 2026: Revised Schedule for State Quota

| Events | Dates |
| Last date of online registration and choice filling for seat allotment | August 21 |
| Editing in filled-up choices, if needed | August 21 |

Jharkhand Round 1 NEET Counselling 2026: Revised Schedule for All India Seats
For all India seats in MBBS and BDS courses at participating colleges, the revised schedule is as follows:
| Events | Dates |
| Last date of online registration and choice filling for seat allotment | August 21 |
| Seat allotment and downloading of provisional seat allotment letter | August 23 to August 28 |
| Document verification and admission in the concerned institute | No change |
Do Already-Registered Candidates Need to Pay Again?
The official notice clarifies that candidates who have already registered and paid the online counselling fee and security deposit are not required to make the payment again for round 1 choice filling. However, the board has made one requirement clear: candidates must re-register once on the Online Choice Filling Portal to participate in round 1 choice filling, even if they had registered earlier.
This distinction matters, since simply having paid earlier does not automatically carry a candidate through to the choice filling stage without this additional step.
Jharkhand NEET Counselling 2026: Fee Structure
The counselling fee for NEET counselling 2026 in Jharkhand depends on the applicant's category. Candidates belonging to General, EWS, BC-I, and BC-II categories need to pay Rs 1,000, while SC, ST, women, and Divyang applicants are required to pay Rs 500.
What This Revision Means for Candidates
With registration and choice filling now extended to August 21, candidates who had not yet completed these steps have additional time to finalise their preferences. Since the seat allotment result is now scheduled for August 23, candidates should treat this window as their effective deadline and avoid assuming further extensions will follow.
Candidates are advised to keep checking the official JCECEB website regularly for updates, particularly since this revision was prompted by a technical issue rather than a planned schedule change.
